Youssou N'dour - 7 Seconds lyrics

rate me

Don't see me from a distance

Don't look at my smile

And think that I don't know

What's under and behind me

I don't want you to look at me and think

What's in you is in me

What's in me is to help them

I assume the reasons that push us to change everything

I would like us to forget about their color

So they can try to be optimistic

Too many views on rave that make them desparate

Let's leave the door wide open

So they can talk about their pain and joy

Then we can give them information

That will bring us all together

It's not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

Nothing can move us, we should be moving

From the ones who practice wicked charms

For the son and the stone

Bad to the bone

Man is not evil, even when it's born

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

The tone the skin is living in

There's a million voices

There's a million voices

To tell you what she should be thinking

So you better sober up for a second
